Ronald Acuña Jr. delivered two highlight-reel moments in the Braves' loss to the Phillies on Saturday, though his efforts proved insufficient to overcome Atlanta's offensive struggles. Acuña made a leaping catch that saved multiple runs, per multiple reports, before later hitting a home run that traveled 450 feet, according to MLB officials.
The Braves managed just two runs despite early baserunning opportunities. Atlanta loaded the bases in the first three at-bats but failed to convert, per reporting from The Good Phight. Phillies starter Zack Wheeler was effective in preventing damage early, while the Braves' Martin Perez struggled on the mound, per Battery Power. The Phillies won 4-2.
